how much would you pay for a pizza?

How desperate can a person be for a piece of pizza?

It seems some people can be very desperate...

Some pizza shop in NY is auctioning off on eBay the rights to buy the first pie of pizza after Pesah. The bidding right now is sitting at $147!!! Can you imagine that? Somebody had to survive a week without pizza and it was so painful that he would be willing to pay $147 to be the first one to get a pie. He can't even wait one more hour and save $130.. He is willing to pay $147 to be the first..

that's a benefit, but I doubt the guy bidding on it is worried about where the money will go and is only bidding because of the tzedaka. he just wants his pizza.

I never understood the mad rush right after pesah to stand in line for a Dunkin Donut (in the US) or by Angels for a loaf of bread, or the pizza shop.Are you so desperate that you are willing to waste an hour in line? You can't just wait until tomorrow to taste that hametz? Is it such a big deal?
